1t win be borne In mind that the above
statement represents tho condition of tho
treasury on the 8lst day OF last July. Since
that date tho amounts then standing to the
credit Of the permanent trust funds have been
largely invested in interest bearing securities,
and the general school fund distributed to tho
several school districts Of the state. The
revenue fund also has not only been ex-
hausted, but has borrowed largely from other
funds las authorized by law in the payment
OF appropriations made for the current fiscal
year. The fiscal year begins August lot, and
as a rulc appropriations Tor the year have been
regarded OF available at any time after that
date. Tho revenues, however, arc not 70.
ceivcd to any considerable extent until eight
months thereafter. The taxes on railroads
(the largest single source Of revcnue) are not
paid until March, and receipts upon the tax
rolls arc inconstderable until about the same
time. 1t would largely relieve the treasury
from the Inconvenience caused by this state Of

the prevention and punishment of

think it hardly just to the memory
of Mr.. Jefferson to assume that he
would not have recognized this dis
tinction.
have during all the years Of my
manhood been q Democrat OF the
straightest sect, and an earnest and
enthusiastic disciple of Thomas Juf-
ferson, whom 1 regard as the great
est political philosopher and states
man this country has ever produced.
And l would be as far from desiring
to see laws passed which would in
terfere with the freedom of legiti-
mate commerce, or which would un-
dertake to control the purchase, sale
and use OF necessary food, drink or
apparel as any one could be. But
believe it to be the duty of the
people, in lawful manner, to pro-
tect themselves and society against
the evils of the improper sale and
use of intoxicating liquors. If I
have not always so felt it has been
in a great degree because 1 was un-
willing to allow any outside issue to
subvert or cause the overthrow of
the Democratic party, whose princi-
Piles l believe necessary to the pres
ervation of our free constitutional
system of government. We now
have the opportunity to promote So
briefly, thrift and happiness, without
endangering the success and perpet-
uation OF the principles Of the DEM
ocratic party, and l am in favor Of
doing so; and / shall at the coming
election so vote, not because be-
Ileve prohibition the most efficient
remedy which could be adopted for
these evils, but because in my judg-
ment it favors policy which will do
much for the Improvement of the
condition of our people pecuniarily,
socially and morally, and toward
placing them on higher and better
plane of civilization. j hope you
will not consider it breach of pro-
pricty for me to make this answer
through an open letter, as / may

OLD EXECUTIONS.
Methods i'm Vogue In England in the Reign
of william III.

| of William III.
In the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries our method of executions was
most brutal. There was the long ride
Of the criminal in an open cart, with
his coffin by his side, either to Tyburn
or to the spot where he committed the
murder; the cart was stopped under
the gallows, the rope was fastened
round the criminals neck. the car
man gave the horse a lash, and the
poor wretch was left swaying to and
fro, kicking, If he had friends, they
would try to shorten his agony by
hanging on to his legs, and beating
his breast, a shocking sight. But
: hanging then was looked upon as a
holiday spectacle, in which we find the
lower class took great interest, and
evinced much sympathy with the de-
ceased. For instance, Claude Duval,
the celebrated highwayman, lay in
state at the ''Tangier' Tavern in
st. Giles in room hung with
black cloth, the bier covered
with escutcheons, and with
eight wax candles burning around. He
was buried by torchlight, and was fol-
lowed to Coyent Garden Church by
numerous train of mourners, mostly
women. Nilsson, French writer, who
visited England in the reign of William
Ill, writes: HE that is hang'd or
otherwise executed, first takes care to
get himself shav'd and handsomely
drest, either in mourning or in the dress
of bridegroom. This done, he sets his
friends to work to get him leave to be
bury'd, and to carry his coffin with him,
which is easily obtain'd. When his suit
of cloaths, or night gown, his gloves,
hat, perriwig, nosegay. coffin. flannel
dress Tor his corps, and all those things
are bought and prepared, the main
point is taken care of-his mind is at
peace, and then he thinks Of his con-
science. Generally, he studies
speech, which he pronounces under the
gallows and gives in writing to the
sheriff or the minister that attends him
in his last moments, desiring that it
may be printed. Sometimes the girls
dress in white, with great silk scarves,
and carry baskets full of flowers
and oranges. scattering these favors
all the way they 60. But to rep
resent things as they really are,
must needs own that. if q pretty
many of these people dress thus gayly
and 60 to it with such an air of indiffer-
cnce, there are many others that 60
slovenly enough, and with very dismal
phizzes. l remember, one day, I saw
in the park handsome girl, very we'll
dressed, that was then in mourning
for her father, who had been hanged
but a month before at Tyburn for false
coinage. So many countries so many |
fashions. John Ashton, in Gentle.
